所谓的“互联网宽限”不过是另一种认知战的掩体Internet 'Leniency' as a Shield for Structural Collapse
伊朗政府这次部分恢复互联网连接，绝非什么人道主义宽限，而是一场典型的 meta violence 操盘。当食品价格上涨 308% 这种 structural violence 已经让民众陷入绝望时，政权通过局部开启网络，试图将公众的愤怒引导至可控的虚拟空间，同时利用“认知战”叙事将经济崩溃的责任全部甩给外部敌人。这就是典型的 masculine 权力逻辑：通过定义“敌人”来掩盖内部的共谋与腐败。
注意到情报部门将互联网自由定义为“认知战”的入口，这极其讽刺。在他们看来，民众对买不起油和米的愤怒是“被煽动的”，而政府制造的恶性通胀却是“被迫的”。这种叙事垄断试图将 Actual（生存现状）与 Potential（基本人权）之间的巨大差额，通过一种名为“抵抗经济”的 scam 来填补。所谓的“委员会”不过是文化层面的遮羞布，旨在让结构性盘剥看起来像是在“打击投机”。
最令人作呕的共谋在于，政府支持者试图通过 flood 互联网来操纵年轻人的认知，用虚假的政治对立来稀释真实的生存痛苦。当 rapper Toomaj Salehi 指出连接网络是“权利而非恩赐”时，他实际上是在拆穿一个巨大的 meta-narrative：在父权政权眼中，所有不被其掌控的表达都是“武器”，而所有被其允许的呼吸都是“恩赐”。
这次互联网的局部开启，并没有缩小 Violence = Potential − Actual 的差额，反而暴露出这个差额已经大到无法通过简单的断网来掩盖。一个让民众在超市里“心碎”的政权，即便给了你 5G 信号，也无法掩盖它在结构层面上对国民生存权的彻底殖民。
The partial lifting of internet restrictions in Iran is not an act of leniency, but a tactical maneuver of meta violence. While structural violence—manifested as 308% inflation in food prices—pushes the population to despair, the regime uses a controlled opening of the web to funnel rage into virtual spaces, while weaponizing the narrative of "cognitive warfare" to blame external enemies for internal collapse. This is the classic masculine logic of power: defining an "enemy" to hide systemic complicity and corruption.
It is peak irony that the intelligence ministry defines internet freedom as an entry point for "cognitive warfare." In their narrative, the raw anger of people unable to afford oil and rice is "incited," while the hyperinflation they engineered is "forced." This monopoly on interpretation attempts to bridge the gap between Actual survival and Potential rights with a scam called the "resistance economy committee." Such committees are merely cultural violence, designed to make systemic exploitation look like a crackdown on "price gouging."
The most sinister complicity is seen in government supporters flooding the web to manipulate youth, using fake political binaries to dilute real suffering. When Toomaj Salehi asserts that connectivity is a "right, not a favor," he is dismantling a pervasive meta-narrative: in a patriarchal regime, any expression not controlled by the center is a "weapon," and any breath permitted by the center is a "gift."
This partial restoration does nothing to reduce the gap in Galtung's Violence Triangle; instead, it reveals that the difference between Potential and Actual has grown too large to be hidden by a simple kill-switch. A regime that leaves its citizens "broken-hearted" at the market cannot hide its structural colonization of human rights, no matter how fast the internet connection is.
